Southern California Based Security Engineer & Full Stack Developer

Security Engineer and Full-Stack Developer who "bleeds tech." I am also a justice-impacted individual. Since being released from incarceration three years ago, I have fought every single day to rebuild. It hasn’t been easy. In Spring 2023, I secured a life-changing DevSecOps role at a Canada-based firm, only to have the offer rescinded due to a background check. Just months ago, I lost a promising contract-to-hire position after being transparent about my "colorful background" pre-offer.

I have protected systems at Tinder, Verizon Media, UCLA Health, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

I am looking for the one company willing to take a chance on a re-entering citizen who brings a level of resilience you won't find in a standard resume.

Thank you all for your perspective, and suggestions.

I was on a bad psychedelic trip, accompanied with some other issues at the time and ending up making threatening statements to a very high level official, but no battery occurred whatsoever. Thank goodness, or I would probably not be writing this message

For the life of me, I have not come up with a sane solution for this issue. On my 2013 MacBook Air, It keeps hitting the lock switch when I insert an SD card. MicroSD cards are often used by myself and my team, and put into card bigger card readers for consumption. I don't care too much for regular sd cards, but I acquire media in the field ALOT, and need to get quick access to pics and vids for editing on the go. I don't want to purchase a USB SD Card reader. Does anyone have a sane solution or experience addressing the issue?

I am in Inglewood,CA. Working on RubyMotion iOS Apps. Looking to get into building prototypes and maybe a part-time iOS Business. I am also heavily ready to jump into hyperlocal marketing apps monetized with automated e-commerce accounts.

Hello, I have been through a lot of those and feel very comfortable coding. However I don't think I can fully manage resume worthy projects yet. How can we get in touch?
